Apple: Tweetie 1.3 client banned

Only such applications can be available in the App Store online shop that have been previously approved by Apple. The supervision is normal and good, as this way low-quality programs can be filtered from the catalog. This whole thing has of course some selfish reasons as well, as the American manufacturer won't let any service to be installed that has a similar counterpart offered by the iPhone software. The censorship seems to be too much sometimes, just like in the case of the poor Tweetie 1.3 client, which has been banned only because in its search view offensive, foul language can be displayed. Relying on this reason one could of course ban tons of applications, as online forums and social networks usually don't have a strong supervision, so any service that provides access to these could be offensive or foul.
